Otter Tail Country Fishing

I offer a fish house rental service in the winter season and while a
fish house rental is what it is—a rental shack facilitating a fishing
experience, I still have a deep need that my renters/fishermen catch
fish. Basically, if people aren't catching perch or walleyes in my
shacks I move them.

A few days ago I stepped into a fish house and was met by disappointed
eyes—no fish, no bites, no action. I immediately moved the house to
get something positive going. After I had moved the large 8x16 fish
house and began to drill out the holes, I noticed something odd. The
guys in the shack had fixed the rattle reels up with steel leaders and
1/4 oz. round lead-head jigs (normally used for summer-time fishing)
and to top that off, the shiner minnows they were using for bait on
the jigs were stabbed through the head—dead as could be. I was
stunned, I had moved my house off a good spot because the stuff they
were using wouldn't catch the hungriest of fish!

Please pay attention to details when fishing. Things don't always
have to be perfect to be reasonably productive, but you have to give
the fish a little credit for having some sensibilities. Don't forget
to ask for help if you're not sure.

After I got the guys settled again I gave a condensed fishing seminar
to the guys, and they called me a while later, excited with the news
that they had caught several walleyes with the information they learned.
